6 ARCHITECTURAL SPECS Part 1 General 1.1 DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT a. The product described herein, manufactured by EZ-ACCESS is an aluminum modular ramp consisting of ramp sections, platforms, rails, and supports that are selected to provide adequate ramping height. 1.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE a. The ramp may be subject to state, local, and city approval prior to installation and subject to inspection after installation. 1.3 REFERENCE CODES a. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT HANDBOOK (published by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, publication EEOC-BK-19). 1.4 SUBMITTALS a. Shop drawings by contractor or manufacturer s literature for approval. Drawings shall indicate layout, unit locations, unit identification, connections details, support items, and dimensions. b. A sample of the ramp treads showing slip resistant ramp surfaces. 1.5 DELIVERY AND HANDLING a. The contractor shall inspect the components upon delivery to ensure that the proper materials have been received and are not damaged or defective. Damaged or defective materials shall be removed from the site. 1.6 FIELD MEASUREMENTS a. Verify that field measurements are as indicated on the placement of plans. 1.7 WARRANTY LIMITED LIFETIME a. The manufacturer shall have in writing a limited lifetime warranty against any defect in materials and workmanship. Part 2 Overview 2.1 OVERVIEW a. All EZ-ACCESS PATHWAY ramps and accessories shall be prefabricated modular units as manufactured by EZ-ACCESS. These ramps shall be modular in design to allow for easy of assembly and relocation. 2.2 MATERIALS a. ENGINEERING 1. Ramp sections shall be designed to exceed 2009 International Residential Code (IRC) uniform minimum distributed live load of 40 pounds per square foot (PSF) for balconies fire escapes and stairs with a safety factor of 2 and a concentrated vertical load of 500 PSF. b. MATERIALS 1. Ramp sections shall be all aluminum construction from alloys 6005, 6061 or All structural fasteners which attach ramps together and handrails to ramps shall be of grade 5 strength or higher, and shall be zinc plated or zinc chromate finish. c. DESIGN AND FABRICATION 1. PATHWAY ramp units are to be built to shape, size, and finish as indicated on approved drawings. 2. Ramp surface is to be continuous, that is no gaps greater than ¼, and shall have an extruded slip resistant surface. Platform deck surface will be knurled to make slip resistance bi-directional. 3. Ramps shall be constructed of either interlocking 1⅛ x 6 treads welded to the side rails, or 1/ standard expanded metal (EM) welded to a tubular support frame which connects the side rails. 4. All ramp sections shall have a 2 minimum curb height. 5. Top of all ramps must accept a full-width pivoting top adapter plate with a minimum 3 extension with a preformed angle between 8 and 12 with a slip resistant surface.

7 6. Bottom of all ramps must accept a full-width pivoting bevel with a slip resistant surface from ramp to ground transition. 7. All fasteners shall be captured either on outside of ramp or underneath. 8. There shall be no fasteners protruding into the inner usable ramp or curb surface. 2.3 PLATFORMS a. ENGINEERING 1. Platforms shall be designed to exceed 2009 International Residential Code (IRC) uniform minimum distributed live load of 40 pounds per square foot (PSF) for balconies fire escapes and stairs with a safety factor of 2 and a concentrated vertical load of 500 PSF. b. MATERIALS 1. Platform sections shall be all aluminum construction from alloys 6005, 6061 or c. DESIGN AND FABRICATION 1. Platform units are to be built to shape, size, and finish as indicated on approved drawings. 2. Platform surface is to be continuous, that is no gaps greater than ¼, and shall have an extruded slip resistant surface, knurled to make slip resistance bi-directional. 3. Platforms shall be constructed of interlocking 1⅛ x 6 treads welded to the side rails, or 1/ standard expanded metal (EM) welded to a tubular support frame which connects the side rails. 4. Platforms shall be designed for variable height adjustment. 2.4 SUPPORT LEG ASSEMBLIES a. ENGINEERING 1. All support assemblies shall be designed to support the ramp and platform sections specified in sections 2.2 and Support assemblies shall be designed to hold the support tubes and legs vertical in all locations. 3. Support tubes and legs shall have a minimum wall thickness of.094. b. MATERIALS 1. Support assemblies shall be constructed of aluminum alloys 6005, 6061 or 6063 with polymer feet. 2. All fasteners shall be grade 5 strength or higher with zinc plated or zinc chromate finish. c. DESIGN 1. Support tubes and legs shall be adjustable for variations in height. 2. All aluminum brackets shall be supplied for attachment of the ramps and/or platforms to the proper support tube or leg. 3. All legs shall have a x (minimum) square polymer foot. 2.5 HANDRAILS a. MATERIALS 1. Handrails shall be all aluminum construction from alloys 6061, 6063, or b. DESIGN AND FABRICATION 1. Handrails shall be provided along both sides of ramp segments. The inside handrail on turn platforms and dogleg ramps shall always be continuous. Gripping surfaces shall be continuous, without interruption by newel posts, other construction elements, or obstructions. 2. Handrails shall be 1½ diameter. 3. The top of the handrail gripping surface shall be mounted between 30 and 36 above the ramp surface, and the top of the intermediate rail, when present, shall be mounted between 18 and 22 above the ramp surface. 4. All handrail tubes shall be deburred and all sharp edges removed from gripping surfaces. 5. All handrails shall be supplied with brushed, architectural finish (optional powder coat finish available). 6. All platform handrails shall include a 1 ½ x 2 curb located 1 ½ to 2 ½ above the platform deck except the Vertical Picket Handrail.

8 2.6 VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL PICKETS (OPTIONAL) a. MATERIALS 1. Pickets shall be all aluminum construction from alloys 6061, 6063, or b. DESIGN AND FABRICATION 1. Pickets shall be provided along both sides of ramp segments and all sides of platforms except where ramps attach. 2. Pickets shall be spaced so no gap exceeds Pickets shall be provided with handrails which meet the same requirements as Section Pickets shall be either 1 square (vertical) or 1½ diameter (horizontal). 5. Pickets shall be supplied with brushed, architectural finish or mill finish (optional powder coat finish available). PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 EXAMINATION a. Verify site conditions are conducive to proper assembly of product. 3.2 ASSEMBLY a.
